XAML Values
- days
-
An integer value greater than or equal to 0 that specifies the number of days.
- hours
-
An integer value between 0 and 23 that specifies the number of hours. If you specify a Duration as a XAML attribute, an hours component is required, even if is 0.
- minutes
-
An integer value between 0 and 59 that specifies the number of minutes. Set hours:minutes components as 0:0 if you are setting only a seconds component.
- seconds
-
An integer value between 0 and 59 that specifies the number of seconds. Set hours:minutes components as 0:0 if you are setting only a seconds component.
- fractionalSeconds
-
Optional. A decimal value consisting of 1 to 7 positions past the decimal point, which specifies fractional seconds.
- Automatic
-
The literal string

Property value
Type: Duration
The timeline's simple duration: the amount of time this timeline takes to complete a single forward iteration. The default value is a Duration that evaluates as Automatic.
Remarks
A Duration value has a TimeSpan component.
- For Visual C++ component extensions (C++/CX), the data value of a Duration is a property named TimeSpan. This has a TimeSpan structure value, and that structure has a field named Duration that reports the duration as an int64 that counts in 100-nanosecond units. TimeSpan doesn't have any methods for getting components of the time in hours:minutes:seconds format.
- For C# or Microsoft Visual Basic, you can use utility methods of System.TimeSpan to get the duration components in whatever format you want. For example you can get TimeSpan.Hours, TimeSpan.Minutes and TimeSpan.Seconds separately.
- For more info, see Remarks in the Duration reference topic.
